Disclaimer

Effective Date: April 20, 2026
Last Updated: April 20, 2026

Read this Disclaimer carefully before using any content on this website. By accessing orus.ph, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to everything stated here.

1. We Are Not the BIR

orus.ph is an independent information website. We are not the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

We have no official connection to the BIR, the Department of Finance, the Office of the President, or any Philippine government agency or instrumentality. The word “ORUS” in our domain refers to the BIR’s Online Registration and Update System — the subject of our guides. We write about ORUS. We are not ORUS.

The BIR’s official platforms are:

  • Official Website: bir.gov.ph
  • ORUS Portal: orus.bir.gov.ph
  • BIR Hotline: (02) 8538-3200
  • BIR Email: contact_us@bir.gov.ph

All official BIR transactions must be completed through those channels. Not here.

To reach the orus.ph site team directly, use the Contact page or email contact@orus.ph. We typically respond within 24–48 hours.

2. General Disclaimer

All content published on orus.ph is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website should be treated as official BIR guidance, legal advice, tax advice, or accounting advice of any kind.

Our guides simplify publicly available BIR information to help Filipino taxpayers better understand government processes. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), tax attorney, or BIR-accredited tax agent.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure content on this website is accurate and based on the latest BIR policies, Revenue Memorandum Circulars (RMCs), Revenue Regulations (RRs), and official ORUS user guides.

However, we cannot guarantee that all content is:

  • Fully accurate at the time you read it
  • Up to date with the most recent BIR policy changes
  • Free from typographical or factual errors
  • Applicable to every individual taxpayer’s unique situation

BIR rules, ORUS processes, and tax deadlines change regularly. Always verify critical information directly with the BIR before making any registration, filing, or compliance decision.

4. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

The guides on this website are written for general audiences navigating common BIR processes. If your situation involves any of the following, consult a licensed CPA, tax attorney, or BIR-accredited agent:

  • Complex business structures or corporate tax matters
  • Estate and donor’s tax transactions
  • Tax treaty applications for foreign income
  • BIR audit responses or tax assessments
  • Penalty and compromise settlement negotiations
  • Any situation where an incorrect filing could result in significant financial or legal consequences

5. No BIR Transaction Processing

This website does not:

  • Accept TIN applications on behalf of users
  • Submit BIR forms or documents to the BIR for any user
  • Process registrations, updates, or tax filings for anyone
  • Guarantee approval, processing time, or outcomes of any BIR transaction
  • Issue official TINs, Certificates of Registration, or any BIR document

All BIR transactions happen solely between you and the BIR through their official channels. Our guides help you complete those transactions yourself.

6. External Links
